Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they remain pressurised and often contain chemical substances. If not managed correctly, they can be dangerous to both people and the environment.

Risks include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can release freezing gas that causes burns
✔️ Dry powder units may irritate eyes, lungs, and skin
✔️ Cylinders can rupture if dropped or mishandled

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Dumbarton are handled safely and disposed of in line with UK hazardous waste regulations.
